	he formal description: "When you are a truly happy Christian\, you are
	 also a Buddhist. And vice versa." - Thich Nhat Hanh Buddha and Christ
	\, perhaps the two most pivotal figures in the history of humankind\, 
	each left behind a legacy of teachings and practices that have shaped 
	the lives of billions of people of the course of two millennia. If the
	y were to meet on the road today\, what would each think of the other'
	s spiritual views and practices? Thich Nhat Hanh has been part of a de
	cades-long dialogue between the two greatest living contemplative trad
	itions\, and brings to Christianity an appreciation of its beauty that
	 would be conveyed only by an outsider. In a lucid\, meditative prose\
	, he explores the crossroads of compassion and holiness at which the t
	wo traditions meet\, and reawakens our understanding of both. "On the 
	altar in my hermitage\," he says\, "are images of Buddha and Jesus\, a
	nd I touch both of them as my spiritual ancestors"\n
